These look sensible to me. If you could show some numbers that support the claim that there is a performance advantage, it would be even more convincing.
Thanks Peter for looking at those patches. I tried to devise a query to show performance gain but did not succeed :-(. So I begin to wonder if 0002 is worthwhile to do, as it seems that it does not solve any real problem.
